	» Good morning, Kara! » I don't mind at all. :) » I would love to spar with you soon. I have nothing much going on today after 4 and I will be free on Sunday as well. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	» 😁 » Today after 4 sounds great! » Would you mind if I my dog tagged along too? He's a little clingy today. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thundering 2021-07-02 05:27 pm UTC (link)
	» Wonderful! It's always nice to find someone new at my strength level or above. » And I absolutely do not mind. I'm very fond of dogs. » I have a helhound, Thori, that may be interested in joining us if you're open to that? He behaves, so he will be no danger to your dog. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	karalkent 2021-07-02 05:35 pm UTC (link)
	» I'm very open to that! Krypto's a good boy too. He could definitely use a friend. » I should warn you that he's from Krypton, though, so here - he has all the same powers I do. » But he won't be a danger either! He's very well-trained and now that he's adjusted to being here, he's been behaving. » Except for chewing on my cousin-in-law's shoes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thundering 2021-07-02 06:20 pm UTC (link)
	» Ha! Mine is a helhound and breathes fire, so I think they'll get along well. » He also speaks. » And, uh, may be rude? At first. But I'll keep him in line. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	karalkent 2021-07-02 06:29 pm UTC (link)
	» A literal hellhound? Really? Wow! » I can handle a little rudeness after, you know - getting over the talking dog part. » I think Krypto would drive us absolutely crazy if he could speak. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thundering 2021-07-02 06:34 pm UTC (link)
	» Oh yes, from Asgard. I thought I lost him when Asgard perished, but he showed up here a few months back. » It's very convenient that he speaks, he's quick to let us know if we're at the point where he needs to rip an animal to pieces. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	karalkent 2021-07-02 06:43 pm UTC (link)
	» I know that feeling. We were in a similar situation with Krypto until his pod finally landed on Earth one day. » I can see the benefit of it from that angle. It's good of him to warn you? » Maybe Thori and Krypto can have a flame breath/freeze breath standoff. 😂 (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thundering 2021-07-02 11:02 pm UTC (link)
	» I'm glad you have your Krypto again. It is the best feeling, to get a beloved companion back. » It is because then we don't have to find twenty dead seagulls in the backyard. » But that would be amazing to see! Perhaps after our spar session! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	karalkent 2021-07-02 11:48 pm UTC (link)
	» Yes! Sparring! » Ready to kick some butt! » Where do you want to meet? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	» How about the Underground? Or the training grounds for the Defense teams? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	karalkent 2021-07-03 12:28 am UTC (link)
	» The training grounds are outdoors, right? » Maybe there. I'm still re-learning how to measure my strength and I'd rather damage trees than someone's property. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

» Oh of course.
» So, on Earth (or planets that revolve around a yellow sun), Kryptonians basically get supercharged.
» I got slammed with that as soon as I ended up on Earth. I learned how to control it all as a teenager, but when I got older, I decided I wanted to live as normal a life as I could.
» In order to do that, I took this tech from my pod that mimics the red sun we have on Krypton and makes us more like normal Earthlings - more average all around - and I put it in a piece of jewelry.
» I've been wearing that for years so my powers were dampened. I started taking it off since coming to Vallo, but I'm out of practice.

[...]

» I probably could have just said 'I'm out of practice' to begin with. Sorry for the essay!

	» No, it's fine! » It's fascinating to learn more about others that aren't from Midgard originally and to see how their experiences differ from those I do know and from own. » I suppose it makes sense you would want to be at 100% in an unfamiliar place such as Vallo. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	karalkent 2021-07-03 01:43 am UTC (link)
	» Oh good! » Well, I'm happy to regale you with my life story someday and would love to listen if you want to do the same. :) » Being at 100% is part of it, but I also don't have to hide here. People have known about Kryptonians since long before I showed up. » I guess I feel like I can be a little more open and a little less worried. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thundering 2021-07-03 01:46 am UTC (link)
	» Oh don't get me started. I can hold your ears on end if you let me. » I understand. I had to go 'undercover' once and it was very, very difficult. » But it is freeing to be who you are without worry. » I'm glad you have that here. » And that you have made my favorite Midgardian happy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

» Consider this blanket permission. We can have a chatfest sans sparring any time!
» I'm glad you have that here too! I can't imagine you 'undercover'. You have a very big personality!
» It really is freeing, though. Not that I think me without powers wasn't me, but I was a little subdued, I guess.
» She makes me REALLY happy, Thor. I hope I'm making her even half that happy.

» I would very much enjoy that, Kara.
» I will admit that it wasn't my idea. I was banished to Earth by the Allfather for my arrogance and entitlement and turned mortal.
» So it was a steep learning curve. This is how I met Darcy Lewis. She tasered me. :)
» She is private about her personal life, but from all the hints she does give me, I think you have nothing to fear about her happiness.

	» Tell him what a good boi he is!!! » And remind him of how beautiful HE is. » Count me in. What're you in the mood for? » Are you free Sunday? It's Steve's birthday and Sam's having a thing for it & 4th. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	» I'll remind him! » Maybe some affirmation will convince him to stop sticking to me like Velcro. » I was thinking Mexican? I could really go for some good tacos. » I should be! I'll check in with Lois and Clark and make sure they don't have plans. But I'll split my time if I have to. :) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	» Look if you need me to borrow him and let him go running along the coast, I will do it. » Fuck yes I can down about 50 tacos right now but I may only be saying that cause I had a nitro cold brew earlier and I have the zoomies. » If they don't, they're welcome to come too? Sam is big on The More The Merrier. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

» Zoomies, crazy lady? What did you do, inject it straight into your veins? :P
» Maybe I should let you borrow Krypto. He'll drag you down the coast and you won't feel your legs for the rest of the day.
» We're meeting Thor and Thori at four so he and I can spar.
» Tacos around 6-6:30? I'll Postmates them to the RV?
» I'll recommend that and see what Clark says. He likes his Smallville vibes, but I'll try to persuade him to join the world instead.

	» No but that's an idea for next time 🤔🤔 » I take it back, that sounds like torture. I already get sass about my stamina when working out. » I'll make the ambiance all romantic. You in for a thriller or something spooky? » Aw, it'll feel homey, bbq and beer drinking and probably throwing horseshoes or something. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

» I'm not an MD, but I'm going to go ahead and caution you NOT to try that. Seems unwise for your poor human body.
» I have plenty of stamina for both of us, don't worry. 😉
» Spooky sounds perfect! Just not too gory? Gratuitous blood doesn't do it for me.
» Those are some of his favorite things. I'll talk him into it, don't worry.
» I'd like for you guys to actually meet anyway, especially now that I've met Thor and Fandral.

» IDK that seems fake. ;)
» 😏👀 Oh hello there surprise innuendo I was totes not even trying for.
» Good to know, less gore, more spook. Can handle that.
» Krypto might have a new BFF in Thori too, tell him to keep Thor from burning down the kitchen again or something.
» But yeah, would be a good place for meet up so it's not just jumping into awkward dinner where I say something dumb in a closed space?

» I do like a girl who takes risks. Within reason.
» You bring it out in me without even trying.
» If all else fails, we have freeze breath to prevent any fiery kitchen catastrophes next time around.
» I talked to him and he's in. Lois is working, so it didn't take too much convincing.
» Sam wouldn't mind an extra hand at the grill, right? And cornhole? Clark's very into cornhole.

	» I kinda want to see the freeze breath but AT WHAT COST. » Besides gore, any other hard no's on movies and such? 🤔 » Sam can probably be convinced to share, I'll distract and/or poke him if I need to. I don't even know what cornho-- oh is that the throw bean bags thing? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	» I'm pretty sure he actually posted on the network about it? » So it's an open invite sort of thing - you won't be crashing. » And if we're going to be here for a while, it can't hurt to integrate into the community, right? » Rao knows Lois is far better at that than either of us but still!
